For hundreds of farmers in Ikwo and Ezza South Federal Constituency of Ebonyi State, the distribution of fertilizer, rice seedlings and cash support marked a welcome boost ahead of the farming season.
Yet, beneath the excitement over the intervention lay a common concern the rising cost of agricultural inputs that continues to threaten small-scale farming.
The intervention, facilitated by Chinedu Ogah, the Member representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency, saw 5,000 bags of fertilizer, rice seedlings and N50 million distributed to farmers and stakeholders at Blessed Martins College of Nursing Sciences, Ohatekwe Amagu, Ikwo Local Government Area on Saturday.
The programme earned commendation from the Ebonyi State chapter of the APC, which described Ogah as a performing legislator whose consistent empowerment programmes, scholarship initiatives, constituency projects and regular engagement with the people have made him a model of effective representation.
